(Bon Jovi - from the album "Slippery When Wet")

It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasted away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I drive all night
Just to {...a wise ass} get back home

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride {I ride}
{Uh, wanted} I'm wanted {yah! dead or alive} dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive {yah! this song sucks}

{...man this has got to be boring}
Sometimes I sleep {uh oh, here we go again},
Sometimes it's not {man, give it a rest} for days
And people {you suck} I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes I tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you're alone {I told ya you suck} all you do is think

Well I walk the streets {what are you a prostitute?},
a loaded six string on my back
{yeah I bet you got something else on your back}
I play for keeps {yah!},
'cause I might not make it back {make it back}
I been everywhere {everywhere},
still I'm standing tall {standing tall, yeah yeah}
I've seen a million faces
And I've rocked them all
{yeah I'll fuckin rock you, you dick}

{Oh man it's over already, we'll miss you. We'd like to }
{personally thank Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora for their }
{uh, effort in this project, and personally I've got a }
{contract out on them for 5,000 dollars, so um I gotta go.}
